Maya wasn't quite up to playing kissy face with Baby. But, there was peace in the valley.
Not quite 'fixed' up. The truck is into the shop on Wed. That vibration, replace ALL the plugs and there is a track-bar to be looked at.
I did say he charged the going shop rate. $100 an hour. Job was 3 hours. Plus bits/pieces and tax. I didn't price shop before he started work, either. He showed me the Ford book that says to remove head before doing any of the plug work. He was able to do it by feel..you sure can't see anythting in there. I have no complaints at all. I just thought his yard was worth a comment. Usually, when one is going into a new-to-you shop..one kind of sizes up the place and who works there. A pile of rusty metal, spilled oil, tools just willy-nilly...and a sheep wandering..is usually not a good sign.
